IOTA is the only cryptocurrency out of the top ten by market cap to have grown by more than one percent in 24 hours to press time - in fact, it has gained as much as 12.5 percent, to trade at $0.60.
In terms of weekly gains, one of the biggest winners is Tezos, up a whopping 97% on the week and trading at $2.64 at press time.
Yesterday, Fundstrat's Head of Research Tom Lee said in an interview with CNBC that the cryptocurrency "Could end the year explosively higher," citing a correlation between it and emerging markets, and claiming that he still believes that Bitcoin could hit $25,000 by the end of 2018.
According to Lee, the "Tide is changing" for both Bitcoin and emerging markets, especially if the U.S. Federal Reserve slows down its interest rate hikes.
